How to play as Draven

Use your early damage to stop Lucian from repeating short trades; punish if he dashes into axe range, and keep Stand Aside(E) ready to interrupt The Culling(R).

Spinning Axe(Q) empowers Draven's basic attacks, so extended trades can outdamage Lucian's short burst pattern.

Stand Aside(E) knocks Lucian aside and can interrupt The Culling(R) channel.

How to play as Lucian

Take the short trades your kit is built around and disengage; Draven's Spinning Axe(Q) makes an extended exchange dangerous, and save The Culling(R) until Stand Aside(E) is used.
